Download the Call for Posters and Demos

RCIS has become a recognized conference on research challenges in information sciences. Organized for the ninth time in a row, RCIS 2015 will be held from May 13-15, 2015.

RCIS will feature posters in a poster session and offer the opportunity for demonstrations of tools in a demonstration session. Both sessions will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to showcase their work, to interact with conference participants, and to obtain feedback on on-going research and advanced prototypes and products from knowledgeable conference attendees:

• Posters are intended to convey a research result and are not advertisements for commercial software packages. While posters need not describe completed work, they should report on research for which at least some preliminary results are available.
• Demonstrations should directly and actively involve the exhibition and display of software prototypes, research tools and associated materials that illustrate research work in progress and serve as ground for discussion of research ideas.

At RCIS 2015, among other regular topics a special attention will be given to the special topic “Information is all around us”. Now more than ever before in human history, information about almost everything is available somewhere. The only reason people do not have the proper pieces of information is because they either do not care to know or they are overwhelmed by the amount of data they have to filter out to get what they need. This situation poses great challenges to the field of Information Science.

RCIS welcomes posters and demos submissions from any domain of Information Science. The list of interested topics includes, but is not limited to:

Information Systems and their Engineering Requirements Engineering Method Engineering Software Testing Information Security and Risk	User-Oriented Approaches Human-Computer Interaction Social Computing and Social Network Analysis User-Centred Approaches Collaborative Computing
Data and Information Management Databases and Information Information Search and Discovery Conceptual Modelling and Ontologies	Business Process Management Business Process Engineering and Reengineering Process Mining Enterprise Engineering
Applications E-Health E-Government E-Commerce Web-Based Applications and Services Smart Cities	Business Intelligence Big Data & Business Analytics Decision Information Systems Knowledge Management Knowledge Discovery from Data Information and Value Management
Information Infrastructures Cyber-Physical Systems Web Information Systems Grid Computing and Cloud Computing Internet of Things Pervasive and Mobile Computing	Reflective Research and Practice Research Methodologies in Information Science Impact of Information on the Enterprise and the Individual Lifecycle Models Design Science and Rationale

Posters and demonstrations proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file with no more than 2 pages. The two pages shall contain an abstract describing the research content of the poster or what is going to be demonstrated, along with the significance of the contribution to IS technologies, title, authors, institutional affiliations and electronic contact information. Proposals that exceed the limit of 2 pages will be rejected without review.

Papers that have already been accepted or are currently under review for other conferences or journals will not be considered for publication at RCIS 2015. Authors are invited to submit papers in English.

Three members of the track program committee will review submissions, and selected proposals will be published in the RCIS’2015 Conference Proceedings published by IEEE Xplore digital library. Consequently, posters and demonstrations, paper submissions for posters and demonstrations must be formatted using the IEEE 2-column format available at (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html). They should be limited to a number of pages as indicated above for each type of the submission and submitted in PDF format. Please use the IEEE PDF eXpress tool (available at http://www.pdf-express.org, detailed instructions here at http://rcis-conf.com/rcis2014/express.php) to convert your source file into IEEE Xplore compliant PDF File or to check if your own PDF file is IEEE Xplore compliant. IEEE PDF eXpress is a free service to IEEE conferences, allowing their authors to make IEEE Xplore-compatible PDFs (Conversion function) or to check PDFs that authors have made themselves for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function). The conference ID for IEEE PDF eXpress tool will be provided soon on the RCIS 2015 web site. It is important to note that submitting a file to IEEE PDF eXpress is only for creation of a compliant PDF file, you must still submit your final paper through online submission.

Proposals must be submitted using the conference submission site (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rcis2015), where you choose “Posters and Demos papers Section”. Then, in the submission page, after “Title, Abstract and Other Information” section select “Poster paper” or “Demo paper”.

By submitting a poster or demo paper, authors implicitly agree that at least one of them register to the conference and present the poster or the demo (at least one registration for each accepted paper, poster or demo). Only posters and demos that have been presented by their authors during the conference will be published in IEEE Proceedings.
